The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Chapter 157 The Jiang Family’s Daughter Can’t

Mrs. Xie's expression was so cold that it had not completely dissipated even when Prime Minister Xie returned home.

Xie waved to his confidants and asked them to leave.

"I see that you are in a bad mood today, why?"

Prime Minister Xie and Madam Xie have been married for many years. They don’t know how deep their feelings are, but their future goals are both moving in the same direction.

Therefore, Xie Xiang usually cares about Mrs. Xie.

Madam Xie lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Prime Minister Xie, and said indifferently: "The little girl that Yi'er originally liked has a little trouble."

Xie Xiang knew that she valued her youngest son particularly, and so did he. After all, his youngest son was indeed outstanding.

How many young men can this dynasty find who have been personally appointed as officials by Your Majesty before they even reached adulthood?

Besides, the younger son Xie Yi still has the charm and grace of his youth.

Based on this point alone, Xie's love for Xie Yi far exceeds that for other children.

When he heard Mrs. Xie talking about Xie Yi's marriage, he also became concerned: "Which daughter is it?"

Madam Xie raised her hand and stroked her temples, and said lightly: "Jiang Mao's little daughter, Yi'er likes her."

Mrs. Xie did not notice the change in Prime Minister Xie's expression.

When she said the name Jiang Mao, Xie Xiang's brows furrowed.

After saying the last sentence 'Yier likes her', Xie Xiang's face was even more displeased.

"Change another one. The daughter of the Jiang family is not suitable."

Prime Minister Xie denied Madam Xie's idea without even thinking about it.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's eyes became sharp. "Why do you want to change? My son finally has a girl he likes. Are you, as a father, going to break them up?"

Prime Minister Xie didn't expect Mrs. Xie to react so strongly. She had agreed to do things he had not allowed her to do before after just a thought.

Why is there such a big reaction to Yier's matter?

"Xie Mao's eldest daughter married King Xuan. Have you forgotten?" Prime Minister Xie said patiently to Madam Xie.

Mrs. Xie was still thinking what the reason was, but after hearing this, she dropped her defensive posture and said nonchalantly, "I haven't forgotten."

"What's the big deal? There are many relatives among the rich and powerful. Are they really going to cut off all contact?"

Xie Xiang's face turned cold, "It's okay for others, but not for Jiang Mao's daughter."

Mrs. Xie was also annoyed. She confronted Xie with her beautiful eyes, "Yier has always been well-behaved and never asked you or me for anything. You actually refused such an important matter as marriage without even thinking about it."

"Have you ever thought about Yi'er's feelings?"

Xie Xiang did not want to argue with her, and just said, "Anyone can do it, but not Jiang Mao's daughter."

After saying this, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Xie.

She also looked at her husband, who had been so affectionate to her for many years, with a cold face and said in a tough attitude: "If you just keep saying no, I will insist on it."

Prime Minister Xie looked at Madam Xie. It was rare for him to see Madam Xie express such a clear and tough attitude, and he became curious for a moment.

"There are countless noble ladies in aristocratic families. Yi'er is young and has never seen many girls. How can you be sure that he wants Jiang Mao's daughter?"

Xie Xiang's words were too arrogant, and he did not take other families into account at all.

Mrs. Xie said, "I told you, he never asked me for anything."

"Just to satisfy Yier's request?" Xie Xiang was suspicious.

Madam Xie asked back, "What do you think it is? I want the Duke of Ying to turn against the King of Wei?"

Madam Xie knew that Prime Minister Xie worked for the King of Wei.

She would not take the initiative to get involved, but if Xie Ji needed help, she would naturally help.

But this does not mean that her son has to give in to the King of Wei.

Prime Minister Xie keenly sensed Madam Xie's dissatisfaction with King Wei.

He knew clearly where Mrs. Xie's dissatisfaction with King Wei came from.

She told me that year that Princess Boyang wanted to inquire about Fuer's marriage, and asked me whether I should agree.

But Lu Qingxiao is too favored by His Majesty, and the power in his hands cannot be used by the King of Wei at all.

She wanted Fuer to marry into Prince Wei's Mansion, so that Prime Minister Xie's Mansion could be completely tied to the Prince Wei's Mansion.

In order to expand his influence, he let Fu'er marry the Prince of Pingxi.

The Prince of Pingxi is young and promising. He has also left some impression on Your Majesty, but he is not your confidant.

I married my beloved daughter to him and treated him kindly, so he was naturally easy to control.

Mrs. Xie became estranged from him for a year or two because of this incident, until Fu'er gave birth to the eldest son of Prince Pingxi, the relationship eased a little.

Over the years, Madam Xie has never looked down upon Prince Pingxi.

Naturally, he was also dissatisfied with the King of Wei.

Prime Minister Xie raised his hand and patted Madam Xie's hand, saying, "Princess Xuan is pregnant. Now she is highly valued by His Majesty, and he basically responds to everything for her."

"Do you think Princess Xuan would be willing for her younger sister to marry into the Xiangfu?"

"Also, can't Prince Xuan's Mansion find out what you did behind the scenes?"

Prime Minister Xie was not completely indifferent to the affairs of the mansion. He always knew about some matters that required the use of people.

At first, he didn't know why Mrs. Xie targeted the Sixth Miss Jiang Family in this way. Now thinking about it, he found it a bit ridiculous.

Every word that Prime Minister Xie said made sense, but Mrs. Xie felt that nothing about it was pleasing to the ear.

She shook off Xie Xiang's hand and sat down: "So I am unlucky? My beloved children's marriages can't go as I wish?"

Having been married to Madam Xie for many years, Prime Minister Xie naturally knew that Madam Xie was arrogant.

The harmony and orderliness in the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years were also due to Madam Xie's temperament, which allowed him to have such a comfortable environment.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Xie was still willing to give Madam Xie some face: "Yier is young and has a gentlemanly temperament. Knowing that there is no hope of marrying the daughter of the Jiang family, look around more and you will always meet the right one."

Mrs. Xie sneered: "It's suitable, but not what I like."

Xie Xiang was stunned by this, and then he said indifferently: "For a family like ours, being suitable is far more important than liking, isn't it?"

Mrs. Xie had nothing to say, but she was dissatisfied.

She was already the prime minister's wife, but she still could not decide her children's marriages as she wished.

Madam Xie closed her eyes, trying to cool down her anger.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was still very angry. He waved his long sleeves and swept all the tea cups on the tea table to the ground.

"That being said, I still feel unhappy."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xie's eyes darkened and he hid himself again before Madam Xie looked over.

Madam Xie said coldly: "With such a high position and power, you are still constrained by others."

Xie Xiang took Madam Xie's ridicule lightly: "If Madam is dissatisfied, you can smash a few more rare antiques to vent your anger. If nothing else works, this husband can still satisfy you."

Madam Xie sneered: "Do you think I'm some teenage girl?"

Xie Xiang smiled and said, "Madam, are you unhappy about the smash just now?"

Madam Xie stared at Prime Minister Xie for a while, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she was eager to try: "In fact, this lady would rather smash your head to see what's in your mind."

"Even your own children cannot resist your desire to climb up the social ladder."
